My Mind is Full Again

So many things to do and nothing to do. My head is ready to explode! I’m not sleeping well. I go to sleep easy and wake up anywhere from 1 to 4, watch some TV to try and stop my mind and sometimes I fall back asleep and sometimes I don’t. I am overwhelmed thinking of things I need to do such as:

Make a canvas print on Shutterfly, before my $25 coupon and 1/2 price sale expire. Sounds easy, well its not! I tried to do it on my iPad and the picture I wanted to use is too big. I thought there has to be a way in my photos to resize and I can go from there. Well I learned there is no way to do that. Next I e-mailed myself the pic I wanted and then I can resize. For some reason that didn’t work either. Next, I’m now on my laptop, where I was able to resize and then went on Shutterfly to download the new size and continue my project. I downloaded the pic to Shutterfly and then when I went to retrieve it, it wasn’t there! I did it 3X and each time it said it was downloaded, yet it is not in my pictures!! I gave up.

On to my daily challenge of accomplishing things I want to do with my MS symptoms. Again, after I showered, I’m exhausted. I wanted to do 2 miles on the bike, but I’m so tired, so then I started doubting myself, thinking that I’m using my tiredness as an excuse. My list of things to do today is 2 loads of laundry, change the sheets, stripping the bed and I also decided to remove the king size 3″ mattress pad so it can go to the cleaners. Very heavy and awkward to carry on my walker and try to fit through 2 doorways. Very tiring. Next I need to make the bed with clean sheets and refresh the pillows in the dryer. This is also tiring in itself. Right now I’m taking a break writing this entry, so I can sit down and try to recoup. One wash is done, needs to be folded and put away. The next wash I’ll do this afternoon. I wanted to iron 3 blouses and as of now I only did one. I will eat lunch in 1/2 hour and watch my shows, then continue finishing what I started, after lunch there is a sink full of dishes that I’ll do.

I need to make a lunch date with two fellow Master Gardeners that I just don’t feel I have the energy for, Wednesday and Fridays I’m at the garden shop from 10 – 1:30 and then when I’m not, I tend to isolate. I like being by myself and feel I need the time alone. My husband seems to be home more than at work. This Thursday is my 6 month infusion of Ocrevus and that will take up the whole day. I am driving myself.

More thoughts endlessly circulating; building the house in N. Carolina and all the decisions; Telling my son how hurt I felt during our visit; and whether to go to Savannah with my husband this month. I feel a little better getting all this out and realizing in the process that I have accomplished some things that I wanted to get done and that’s not too bad after all!
